From The Wayne Madsen Report: 

October 25, 2005 -- Libby and Cheney links to global weapons smuggling cartel resulted in exposure of Brewster Jennings and Associates non official cover (NOC) network. CIA Leakgate also tied to AIPAC probe. CIA sources familiar with the Brewster Jennings and Associates NOC operation that worked for some ten years to counter the proliferation of nuclear weapons claim that the operation's cover was partially blown because of its success at removing Soviet era nuclear weaponry and materials such as high grade plutonium from the international weapons smuggling market.

Vice President Dick Cheney's chief if staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was once the lawyer for Marc Rich, the Swiss-based American fugitive who was pardoned by President Clinton and is linked to a number of Russian and Ukrainian organized crime figures who have exiled themselves to Israel to avoid prosecution.

Brewster Jennings and the CIA Directorate of Operations Counter Proliferation Division (CPD) had established a program to purchase a range of nuclear weapons components, including Inter-continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) parts, nuclear warhead nose cones, and high grade plutonium and uranium bomb cores from Russian sources who were also selling to members of Russian Mafia networks who were, in turn, selling to the A. Q. Khan network in Pakistan and other WMD smuggling operations.

Brewster Jennings and CIA's CPD involved in purchasing Soviet nuke material from black market -- pitting them against the Russian Mafia and Scooter Libby.

The CIA's CPD agents were particularly worried about the materials for sale at the 70 square mile Russian nuclear weapons complex at Mayak, outside the town of Ozersk. In the late 1990s, black market high grade plutonium was being sold in buckets from warehouses in Mayak. For that reason, the CIA, using its Brewster Jennings NOC network as well as other contractors, purchased the black market materials from the nuclear "used car market," as a CIA source put it. The materials were transported to the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant in Colorado where they were dismantled and disabled.

This secret program became known to Mafia operatives active in the United States as early as 1999. CIA sources report that a well known neo-conservative figure at a Washington think tank received classified information about the Brewster Jennings/CPD operation via an espionage cell within the Department of Defense and passed it on to Israel, which, in turn, passed it to Mafia figures. Some of this information was contained in documents passed to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the Israelis by indicted former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and Pentagon Near East and South Asia Division analyst Larry Franklin. The classified counter proliferation information was contained in classified documents on "terrorist activities in Central Asia." The AIPAC/Franklin espionage operation has been vigorously pursued by the US Attorney for Eastern Virginia Paul McNulty who was named last Friday as the new Deputy Attorney General.

When the Mafia oligarchs discovered the CIA purchase program was driving up the prices of the Russian surplus nuclear materials making them unprofitable for organized crime, they used their connections inside the Bush White House and Pentagon to expose the operation to eliminate the chief American interlocutors and give themselves a lucrative virtual monopoly by removing their competition and driving up the resale price of the nuclear material even further. A CIA source said the Mafia established a nuclear "hedge fund" on the Russian nuclear materials. A CIA source confirmed that Libby and his former client Rich are connected to Russian Mafia figures involved in nuclear smuggling.

After the Mafia discovered the identities of key Russian and other players involved with the CIA WMD purchase program, some of them were executed gangland style.

October 25, 2005 -- Nervous neocons are lashing out. In light of revelations that Dick Cheney was intimately involved in the outing of CIA covert agent Valerie Plame and facing certain indictments of their key leaders, the neocons are furiously lashing out at all those who helped bring the nation to the brink of rolling up their networks of influence and exposing their foreign ties. Ambassador Joseph Wilson is attacked in today's Washington Post by two "Judy Millers in pants": Dana Milbank and Walter Pincus.

Not coincidentally, Republican Senator Norm Coleman of Minnesota, the chairman of the Permanent Senate Subcommittee on Investigations, has trotted out previous charges that George Galloway, British Respect Party MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, personally benefited from oil vouchers from Saddam Hussein. Coleman is now threatening to have Galloway prosecuted for perjury for his testimony before the committee last May. At the time, a number of observers concluded that Galloway successfully stood up to the baseless charges from Coleman.

Coleman's subcommittee, like John Bolton's US Mission to the UN, has become a neocon satellite cell operating in tandem with Vice President Cheney's office and the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans.

Coleman's charges against Galloway were based on forged Iraq Oil Ministry documents that are reminiscent of the crudely forged Niger "yellowcake" documents.

Galloway's name appears in smaller and fainter type on forged Iraq Oil-for-Food documents

The forged Niger Foreign Ministry document. The Niger Coat of Arms was crudely hand drawn. The actual coat of arms is on the left, the forgery on the right.

After being criticized by certain New York elitist neocon circles for being "the son of a doorman" and a "doorman" himself, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is now coming in for more personal attacks. The following quote from a "White House ally" of Bush appeared in the neocon-run (Mort Zuckerman and friends) New York Daily News: "He's [Fitzgerald's] a vile, detestable, moralistic person with no heart and no conscience who believes he's been tapped by God to do very important things." The statement is an obvious slur directed against Fitzgerald's Jesuit high school education in New York City and his Roman Catholic faith.

October 24, 2005 -- Another major espionage scandal brewing at the Pentagon? According to Pentagon insiders, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has been the focus of another espionage investigation. As with the espionage scandal involving former DIA analyst Larry Franklin and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the investigation of DIA has been plagued with external political pressure because of the issue of possible dual loyalties of the principal suspects. In the case of Franklin, the investigation involves American citizens with close ties to Israel. In the other DIA matter, Chinese-Americans are the prime suspects.

The Department of Defense, Department of Justice, DIA, Defense Security Service, and the National Security Agency (NSA) have all reportedly been involved in the cover-up of an investigation into the penetration of DIA's critical counter-terrorism elements, including Able Danger, by at least one individual suspected of links to Chinese (PRC) intelligence.

The Bush administration has actively downplayed the fact that U.S. intelligence has been penetrated by Israeli and Chinese intelligence agents. However, the White House spin machine has been successful in ensuring that the spy scandals are "managed" properly. In the case of AIPACgate, the spin machine malfunctioned as assuredly as it has with CIA Leakgate. Which brings us to the newly-named Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty. See following article.

October 24, 2005 -- Paul McNulty as Deputy Attorney General. US Attorney for Eastern Virginia Paul McNulty has been described as a GOP foot soldier. However, while serving as US Attorney for Eastern Virginia, McNulty has been a thorn in the sides of the neo-cons. He aggressively investigated and indicted Israeli Pentagon spy Larry Franklin and two former top officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). His investigation of others involved in transmitting highly-classified intelligence to Israel continues.

However, what is not generally known is that, aside from AIPACgate, McNulty, like US Attorney for Northern Illinois (and Special Prosecutor in Leakgate Patrick J. Fitzgerald), aggressively pursued another case against a group of neo-cons involved in a criminal conspiracy.

As with Fitzgerald, whose investigation of Hollinger (the neo-con news conglomerate that owns the Chicago Sun Times, Daily Telegraph of the UK, and Jerusalem Post) and one of its principals, Richard Perle, McNulty focused on a neo-con cabal involved in a fraudulent US Air Force contract with Boeing to supply it with refueling tankers. The Principal Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition and Management Darleen Druyun pleaded guilty to accepting employment from Boeing in return for giving Boeing favorable treatment for billions of dollars in contracts. Druyun served nine months in prison.

 

Fitzgerald and McNulty: Battling Neo-cons Together since 2002

A Senate Armed Service Committee investigation discovered that former Air Force Secretary James Roche, another leading neo-con and ally of Donald Rumsfeld, was actively favoring Boeing over a more competitive tanker proposal from Airbus Industries. Rumsfeld tried to make Roche the Secretary of the Army, but his nomination was withdrawn over the Boeing scandal.

Another reported focus of McNulty's investigation of the neo-con cabal at the Pentagon was one-time Chairman of the Defense Policy Board Richard Perle. Perle was a strong advocate for the Boeing tanker lease. In their investigation of the fraudulent Air Force-Boeing tanker deal, federal prosecutors also reportedly focused in on a $20 million investment by Boeing in Trireme Partners, LP., a venture capital firm run by Perle.

McNulty's team was very aggressive in pursuing the Air Force and Boeing principals and their associates. It was an investigation, like that against AIPAC, that did not earn McNulty any points with the neo-cons.

Patrick Fitzgerald is also focusing on Perle as a board member of Hollinger International Inc. Fitzgerald and the Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating Hollinger's former chairman Lord Conrad Black for securities fraud. Hollinger Digital's $2.5 investment in Trireme is also reportedly part of the investigations. Perle was head of Hollinger Digital at the time. Fitzgerald recently indicted Hollinger principal and former Chicago Sun Times publisher David Radler, another leading neo-con, on fraud charges. Fitzgerald successfully "flipped" Radler who is now cooperating with federal prosecutors in the expanding case against other leading neo-cons.

Essentially, Fitzpatrick and McNulty have had the same group of "connected rooted aspens" (to paraphrase Scooter Libby) under investigation for a number of years. The promotion of McNulty to number two at DOJ and Fitzgerald's forthcoming major indictments are all indications that the White House is coming under "new management," management directed by Bush's father's team. The days of the neo-cons are truly numbered.

October 23, 2005 -- Internet censorship. Its real. Google is one of its major facilitators. Internet censorship began with the goal of blocking access to "indecent" web sites. It has now blossomed into a full scale attempt by the U.S. government and its global political and corporate allies to control political content and speech on the web.
